Examples of Durability Index in a sentence
The objective of this study was to compare Micro-Deval test results to L.A. Abrasion, Freeze-Thaw, Aggregate Durability Index, Specific Gravity, and Water Absorption tests for 18 aggregates from the state of Oklahoma.
Typically, if greater retention time is needed, adding additional height to cooler walls or horizontal sections is done to increase the cooler’s surface area.(a) Pellet Durability Index (PDI %) Test: Continuous monitoring and measurement of pellet and cube quality by the pellet mill operator will help assure that a more consistent quality product is produced and shipped from the manufacturing plant.
Durability tests considered in their literature review and laboratory evaluation included: L.A. Abrasion, Aggregate Impact Value (British), Aggregate Crushing Value (British), Micro-Deval, Degradation in the SHRP Gyratory Compactor, Sodium and Magnesium Sulfate Soundness, Freeze-Thaw Soundness, Aggregate Durability Index, and the Canadian Freeze-Thaw Test.
The quality of the testing materials was tested in accordance with the California Division of Highways, Test Method No. 206 (Specific Gravity and Absorption of Coarse Aggregate Procedure for Rock Slope Protection) and Test Method 229 (Method of Test for Durability Index).
Instead, the authors suggested the Aggregate Durability Index test, which was performed according to the AASHTO T210 test standard (AASHTO, 2005), may be a more appropriate mechanical test even though its correlation to pavement performance (r) was only calculated to be -0.49.

Minimum Durability Index: When tested in accordance with Caltrans Test Method 229, shall be 50.
Pellet Durability Index (PDI) – A standardized parameter for specifying the ability of the fuel pellets to resist degradation caused by shipping and handling.
In accordance with the requirements of Section 39−1.02E of the 2010 Caltrans Standard Specifications, except that aggregate grading will be as follows: Sieve SizesLimits of ProposedOperating RangeContract Compliance3/4"−1001001/2"−95−10089−100 3/8" 80−9575−100No. 459−66X±5X±8No. 843−49X±5X±8No. 3022−27X±5X±8No. 200−3−80−11 Minimum Durability Index: When tested in accordance with Caltrans Test Method 229, will be 50.
AGGREGATE GRADING REQUIREMENTS QUALITY REQUIREMENTS The aggregate shall not be treated with lime, cement or other chemical material before the Durability Index test is performed.
